No more errant notifications
With Nintendo continuing their ascent into the online world, there’s bound to be snafus every so often: especially with first party games.Splatoon 3had one minor issue pop up recently, and it involved friend lists.
The popular “ghosting” or “appear offline” feature has been standard in PC games/PC platforms for many years, but consoles were slower to the take. While the feature exists now on major platforms, it doesn’t always go as planned. InSplatoon 3‘s case, some users were reporting that notifications would be sent to their friends, despite the fact that they had their public appearance settings locked down to “best friends only,” or “share my status with no one.”
As of this week, that should be fixed nowthanks to patch 3.0.1. I told you it was a minor update! Either way if this was happening to you, breathe easy.
